2026-27 Registration for In-person Classes

Student & Family Contact Information, Teachers, Calendar Schedule. Please **do not use your phone** to register. The most glitches happen with phones. Please use your computer.
The Emmaus Road Homeschool is a Christian homeschool co-op for high school students, meeting twice per week for in-person class instruction. Some classes are taught only once per week, as noted below in the schedule. Students may register for classes as desired, whether just one or a few.

7th grade and younger students are not permitted to register or apply. Only for special exceptions will 8th grade students be considered for registration on a case-by-case basis. We love middle school students, but the grade restriction exists to preserve the intended relational and developmental age boundaries for high schoolers.

Giving them "their own" four-to-five year age range is important for their social, emotional, academic, and spiritual development. It is not required that a student be a Christian by personal confession and belief, or that the student be a member of a local Christian church, but the school is distinctly Christian and teaching and activities shall reflect that Biblical worldview conviction. Attendance in chapel (Tuesdays & Fridays, as offered) or other corporate prayer meetings is required if students are on campus at the times those take place. 

**Students may not leave campus during chapel or lunch unless they have no classes for the remainder of the day or a parent or guardian has taken them off campus for that time period.**

Registration, Facility Fee, Tuition Structure, and Refunds of Tuition for Dropped Classes
$225 per student is due with registration, as follows:

Registration is $125 for the year after June 12. There is no discount for multiple students being registered. The registration fee is non-refundable and due with this form submission. Early registration ends on June 12. 

If you register your child for only one class and that class is canceled for any reason before school begins, then you will be refunded for the registration and facility fees, as well as tuition paid. 

Late Registration begins at 12:00:01 a.m. on June 13. Late registration fee is $145.

A facility use fee of $50 per student per semester is also due for the full year at registration ($100 due). Should a student withdraw after the first term, the second term's fee will be refunded upon request. 100% of the facility fees go to our host location for facilities maintenance, utilities, and bathroom supplies.

Tuition: unless otherwise noted, each class is $85/student per month for Sept - May. The tuition is due by the first of the month. Some families prefer to pay for the term, and that is acceptable. 4 months for the fall term, Sept - December, and 5 months for spring, Jan - May. 
A late fee of $20 will be charged for tuition payments not paid by the 5th of the month. Teachers are not expected to waive the late fee simply because someone forgot to pay the tuition by the due date. Be mindful to pay on time.

Registration is not complete without registration fees and students fees paid. The student's enrollment in any class for which the student was registered is not confirmed and secured until the first month's tuition is paid directly to the teacher (or to the school, as the teacher may instruct).

At this time, the bank account for The Emmaus Road accepts only PayPal as a pay service feature. Please do not use the Venmo link. We will attempt to add other methods and confirm to you when that has been done. 

Payment for September classes are due to the teacher immediately after registration (any August classes are considered part of the Sept payment). Please use your bank's bill pay service and set up automatic payments to your teachers. Credit card payments are not accepted. You may also use services like Zelle, Venmo or Paypal (with recurring payments scheduled) if your teacher can accept that method. If the teacher will accept hand drawn checks or cash, you may arrange that.

There is no billing by The Emmaus Road for tuition due to the teachers. Tuition payment is the responsibility of the family and each teacher.

Refunds for tuition paid during the term:
If a student withdraws from a course before the next month's classes have begun, then no tuition shall be due for unenrolled months. Full tuition shall be paid to the teacher for the month in which the student drops the course, regardless of the week of the month in which the student drops.
